The box to write our answers was not user friendly. I will paste my message here incase it didn’t reach you via that little box. Thanks for the opportunity to ponder this question. To Dr. Karen Pearlman, for your books third addition release I would love a section on “Communicating with a Director”. The points I’d personally like to understand in detail range from: How to stand your ground with a creative decision. AND How to effectively communicate with different directors. Also, “The Language of Colour Grading”. Something along the lines of: How colours can shortcut environments, emotions etc. Colour tone can just as easily inform an audience the same way a subtle score can. (Reference to discuss: Extraction a 2020 action film starring Chris Hemsworth) Final point I swear. Aspect Ratio. It needs to be discussed more. Xavier Dolan plays around with a kind of flow-framing technique in most of his films. It can be done more often I believe IF done correctly. The last thing we want to do is tamper with audience emersion. (I omitted the end - very direct message to Doctor Pearlman) Hope to hear from you soon. J.D.Manion

Editing entirely depends on the angle of the shot and the time and atmosphere and lighting of the shots…so that how efficiently an editor puts them into a meaningful sequence….sometimes a good movie seems badly edited or sometimes bad movies seems nicely edited….where does all these questions end… if the shots are not done at their best, then an editor doesn’t have much choice to edit…I think Dr Karens should discuss more between the thin red line of how much and how long and how far (how much you can capture the drama, how long you can keep the audience bonded and how far you are going to take everyone to achieve the goal)

One thing to remember about the director walking away with all the credit. Is that he/she also gets all the blame. When I watch a Michael Bay Transformers film. Especially one of the later ones. When I see the editing that is so disjointed and incomprehensible that it becomes a piece of avant garde art... I do not blame the editors. Michael Bay has enough clout to say that he actually wanted it that way. He signed off on it.

I think almost every director started as one man band trying to do most of the roles themselves. When editing the footage you really learn what shots you captured work together in the edit. Often times I realized I should ve broken down the Scene into more distinct angles to get a rhythm in the Scene and to emphazise things I wanted the audience to recognize / feel. So yes, directors who edit become better directors.

There are a lot of directors out there who don't know everything about movie making, but Tarantino certainly isn't one of them. He writes the script and will make sure it's going to be as he wants it to be. If he leaves editing to someone else, that doesn't make the editor any more important. Especially in the case of Tarantino. He's a professional, so he will listen what the editor has to say, but you can't state that a director like him has no view over the material. Bad directors will not be noticed easily as a bad director if everyone else does their job. But the best movie makers are still those who have a clear vision for the entire movie. Basically what I saying is that Tarantino could make his movie with beginner film students, but there's is no way that the best editors out there could do the same. If they were that good, they should be director themselves. If anything, script writers don't get the credits they deserve.

I started out my career as an editor, and slowly after picking up the courage to study in film school and years working in the industry, I've collaborated with many as a director. So this video/edition really hits me. Also, Andrea Arnold's American Honey (2016) for me was my first time seeing a credit roll where they listed "A Film Made By..." followed by her whole team. She was my inspiration for my dissertation on film collaboration! So thank you for this video! Beautiful!

Not surprised that Chloé Zhao edits her own films. I'm a 2nd year at the film program she went to (NYU Graduate Film), and this is how they teach us. At least in the first 2 years we're required to edit the same films we write/direct, and as a result I direct with the assumption that I'm going to edit it. On one hand I do like that level of creative control-but it can definitely lead to tunnel vision, too, and perhaps an overprotectiveness of the project. I think most students eventually choose to specialize (major respect to Chloé for doing that combination on a feature), but if nothing else being in the editor's shoes gives perspective for a director on how to best work with the editor (or vice versa).

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. As I am an aspiring film director I am trying to learn everything from editing to cinematography just so I can have a good idea of how better to direct people. However, this video brings a great point of what directors really must do in order to be good directors. Though it may be helpful if a director knows what they're talking about in a particular field which ultimately allows them to preserve their creative idea, I really enjoyed the idea that directors need to learn to step back and give directions to allow people to perform their craft. I was also quite surprised to see my university lecturer guest starring in this video. Amazing video, glad I'm subscribed !

Yeah but.... In certain most cases, depending on the studio, The editor can spend hours, days, weeks, months on an edit... At the end of the day the director's "DIRECTION" is LAW. If the director says it's not working, than it's not working end of story. The director is ultimately hired to develop his or her vision using the tools and professionals employed. Not all Directors get to choose the contractors used in making the film... But, the ones that have been used as the examples in this particular video most definitely do. So... if an Editor is chosen and hired by a Director wouldn't that ultimately be yet another decision put in play by the Director? If I told three people to gather all the ingredients for a cake and than had another person mix those ingredients together and then had another person turn on the oven and place the cake on the rack; what makes the person who cuts the cake into wedges or squares more of a "Creator/Author.../""CONDUCTOR"", what ever label makes you less self conscious, than those who were involved earlier on? Why would somebody hired by the Director and then told what to do be equal to the Director? Yes they are two different skills, but so are writing and reading. Bottom line, if a Director can edit than let it be. If an editor can direct than let it be.

Editors deserve a lot of credit, they are super integral to the filmmaking process. But when a film flops at the BO or fails, no one says, "man that editor really fucked up." It's the director who may or may not work again. So yes, the director gets nearly all the credit because they're gonna take all the blame if it fails.

I loved this video, as I tend to do with the rest of this channel, but I found the title a bit misleading. I find myself discussing more and more with friends about how Sally Menke (Tarantino´s former editor who passed after the making of Inglorious Basterds) was the perfect balance for QT´s really long dialogue and action scenes. Tarantino is probably my favorite director, but since Menke died his later films started to feel increasingly long and slighty tedious to watch at times, even though all the good things I love about him are still there (Hateful Eight being the perfect example for this). When I saw this video popping in my feed I was hoping to get your insight on this subject,. And would love it if you could maybe talk a bit about it in the future if you feel like it. Thanks for all the great content!

While watching this video I was thinking about Hitchcock and Kubrick. I had read that sometimes Hitchcock didn't film a lot of coverage because he knew where the cut was going to happen in his head. Kubrick wasn't shy about doing multiple takes (maybe trying to exert that control while directing). Each was a master storyteller. I guess there are different paths to the best film possible.

I don’t disagree with anything stated here. I have been both director and editor in the indie scene, for both my own and other projects. The one thing I think is important to note is being the face of a project is a double edged sword. Yes, the director accepts the recognition for a project’s success, but accepts all the accountability for a project’s shortcomings. Like a Head coach of a sports team. A head coach is nothing with their assistant coaches and administration. But in a losing season, hardly anyone is pointing at the supporting roles. Because being the face comes with a lion’s share of the risk, I am ok with the director being considered the author. However, I would to see more recognition go to editors.

This video was well worth the wait the more I watch this channel the more I learn and become infatuated with editing and the process. Answer- I would like to see the ways that an editor can begin their career from the very beginning ! How do I find the right mentor? How do you gain trust from directors in the early stages? How do you get an editor to hire you as an assistant editor? at the moment I have only edited music videos so far and I want to make the switch because music videos can be very repetitive & are becoming so similar because they want to cover everything in effects. I fell in love with editing because of the creative process and editing short films/films/tv is where I want to take my career, and with everything being so remote nowadays its becoming very difficult. I spend my time trying to come up with a plan to break into an industry of which I have no prior experience in . Basically I learn and learn and learn but cant figure out how to exicute on a level of which I can / will be noticed.

Directors that understand their limitations, and are comfortable with allowing others with the expertise to do the thing they know how to do, and taking suggestions about how to tell the story, are better directors. Gaffers, Cinematographers, Editors, Grips, and Actors and the rest of the crew depend on the Director to guide the story, and are there to support that direction with their knowledge and skill.
@Frontigenics 2 жыл бұрын
they shouldn't be "directing" then... as they're just taking credit for other people's work. If all you're doing is "allowing" others to do jobs... then this person should only be credited with "Set Manager" or if you're still working with actors have the title modified to "Director of Performance" and have no greater say over things than the director of photography. You have no business rejecting or approving (aka directing) the work of other's if you don't have an fundamental understanding of it or have learned/performed it yourself at one time.

I edit my own work, and I do think it makes me a better director. I absolutely am still directing in the editing bay, playing with rhythms and even altering what I originally had in mind. It makes for a more organized and efficient shooting schedule, which the actors express appreciation for, as it contributes to an atmosphere that they feel respected by, and thus helps elicit better performances. It also helps that I have an acting background. I do have friends/colleagues that I run certain things by as I work through the cuts, to find out if it's working, which helps a lot. If I'm unsure about a take, I'll edit with both and we'll take a look. Of course, I'm still doing shorts with smaller casts. As the scope of my work gets larger, it may behoove me to pass it to someone else, with the experience I have being extremely valuable.

An editor really needs to understand psychology, emotion, and how to manipulate the footage to elicit the emotions that are desired. This ability is what makes a good editor. Second, the editor also brings a different vision to the project that is unaffected by anything that occurred during production. We don't care if it was a hot day, took 20 takes or is the director's favorite scene ... it it isn't working, the editor's job is to cut it out or manipulate it to make it work.

Both actors and cinematographers, and other roles, make thousands of decisions to provide an intermediate result for director's judgement. I think, it was just quite hard to edit and needed a lot of time - hence there were special people for that. And now it all goes to technicall enhancements which allow to make the same job with fewer people. Filmmakers of the new era will do everything by their own (except of acting, maybe. Or even actors will be replaced by 3d models).

Answer: Discussing the psychological impact of any cut. I feel like we're so commonly told in filmmaking how to light a scene for a certain effect or move a camera to sway the audience, although seldom do we have the opportunity to dive into what makes an edit impactful. The way I personally think of editing is a puzzle; at the start you're left with a bunch of scattered pieces and at the end you've assembled them to create something beautiful. Unlike real puzzles, the pieces are ever changing and I believe that is the mystery for so many when it comes to an edit. For a book about the rythym of an edit I feel like it should explore this mystery and why certain edits feel a certain way. Barring sound and music even. Just looking at the pieces themselves and the psychological impact their ordering has.

Love Dr. Pearlman's work. I think often and deeply about what is happening when we put recorded images together. It's extremely unnatural and on a certain level I think the mind can barely deals with it. It's God like really...but...yeah...good stuff

Answer: I would love to learn about techniques related to the ability to lead the collaborative process, especially since I consider myself a person who has difficulties in this aspect. Whether as a director, screenwriter, or editor, I believe this is a fundamental piece: to be able to create well this collective atmosphere in favor of the realization of the work.

I think you have missed on element of the filmmaking process. Speilberg knows what works and doesn't because he has lots of experience telling the story and then seeing the reaction from buyers and the audience. As a creator, you need to trust your instincts and then see how your choices work BEFORE you start working with an editor.

Answer: How much of editing it’s a skill that can be learned and how much of it, it’s a feeling that can be evoked as a result of cutting audio-visual material? In other worlds: Which it’s the first, the cut or the feeling how to cut gives you direction?

Answer: is editing videos for the web (youtube, instagram etc) a new way of cutting? Is it influencing the way people perceive videos and maybe movies? There's something a traditional editor can learn from that?

Maybe Directors who Edit themselves as well as those who have very close relationships with an Editor possess those skills. In particular the ability to interpret the footage they’ve shot?

It boils down to feeling. When a cutaway disrupts the feeling, don't cut away. When a cutaway further involves the viewer by showing a reaction at an appropriate time, cut away.

Answer: When editing, what's the 3 most important aspects of the edit and how do they interact with each other? Is there times where one is more important than the others and if so, when do you know to highlight that?

If we're talking status, being an auteur director is partly providing the vision for what it should be, no leader should use excessive control or micro manage. Though I agree saying "a film by..." is inaccurate, but putting "directed by..." as the first credit doesn't seem inappropriate.

This is pretty situational but is it better to have the editor on set or keep them in post production?

Great video! As for the book,: How many editors typically work on films (assistant editors etc) and what role does their editing play in meeting required completion deadlines? I ask because I know a few filmmakers who's films are in limbo due to lack of editors.

Answer: It would be cool if the book talked about how animated films and series are edited, since the edit starts (most of the times) in pre production instead of post production, which completely changes the way and the thinking that goes into getting a film made

What are your thoughts on production process now such as the mandaloran using technology to stream line a production, while this helps a developed idea come to life, what impact do you think it will have and developing ideas?
